Walk on the banks of river Thames in West London, visiting pubs “hidden gems”

GRADE: Beginner's hike, 11 miles/18km. 4.5 - 5 hours walking time.
A serene walk along the River Thames, in picturesque areas of West London; Richmond, Brentford, Kew, Chiswick, Hammersmith and Putney.
We will begin our adventure in Richmond and start walking riverside near Syon House, a Tudor house, home of the Duke of Northumberland. After passing Kew Bridge we leave river Thames behind us and visit the gardens of Chiswick House, where we can stop for our lunch. There is a Café in the area.
Chiswick House & Gardens Chiswick House, managed by English Heritage, is a beautiful example of Classical architecture in the style of Italian Renaissance architect Andrea Palladio. The Gardens are considered the birthplace of the English Landscape Movement and the inspiration for other great gardens such us Blenheim Palace and Central Park in new York.
After our lunch we reach the river again and conctinue our stroll on the banks of Thames. We start our “pub tour”. First stop, "Black Lion" in Chiswick followed by other "hidden gem" pubs in Hammersmith and in Putney, our final stop before taking the underground back home!
Join me to discover these "hidden gems" together!
